Ryzen 5 4500 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4500. The Ryzen 5 8500G also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
